Not very long but it’s better than no time. I know there are some other FReepers in Scottsdale. Made any plans to meet up with any of them? That would be so much fun!

It’s been a very difficult 14 months here in Kentucky. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m going to click my heels together and say “there’s no place like home” LOL!

I’ve got an incredibly awesome grandson now. He’s 8 months old has a head full of red hair like his Oma (grandmaP and blue eyes like his Opa (grandpa).

And of course he has me wrapped around his tiny fingers.

Sorry to hear things haven't gone all that well the past several months.
I went shopping for some red shoes to help you get home when it's time.

I'd let you borrow mine but I don't think they'd be quite your style. :-)

Sounds like your new grandson DOES have you wrapped around his tiny fingers. LOL! But dang, hard to think of you as a grandpa already.

Getting sleep will be easy. Waking up, thinking you hear the monitor go off will be another story.

I’m glad you’ll get some time off to really have a visit with your sister. That’s important right now. Have y’all had lots of company?

Sorry for the questions. I am trying to play catch up. Running late tonight. :)
